I'd guess that a "proponent" of popular culture/TV is (although is not
limited to) someone who actively disagrees with the (ill-conceived, I'd
say, not to mention a bit moralistic and elitist) hierarchization of these
moving pictures into films, movies, etc.  Although I share many of the
concerns voiced by members of this list group regarding the "quality" of
many of the most popular television programs and movies today, I find the
discussion of them no less problematic when conducted on these elitist
terms.
